1:06:02
Anyway, the contracts --
1:06:04
I haven't smelled home cooking
like that since I was a child.

1:06:07
Really? Anyway --
1:06:09
Brings back
such happy memories.

1:06:11
Does it? Anyway, actually,
the den is closer --

1:06:14
Your table looks so inviting.
1:06:17
Yes. It's too bad
it's so small.

1:06:20
Small?
1:06:22
Well, actually,
it's big, isn't it?

1:06:24
It's a big table, so...
1:06:26
there would be room
for one more.

1:06:28
Oh, well, if it's not
an imposition...

1:06:31
Oh...oh.
1:06:32
Well, let me just go check
if there's enough food.

1:06:34
I'm not -- I'm not sure,
1:06:36
because, uh, actually,
this is the night of, uh,

1:06:38
Yiminum, the, uh --
the holiday where

1:06:42
white people eat
very little portions

1:06:43
because that was the night
the Lord came down,

1:06:45
and he was given food,
1:06:47
and there was just too much,
and he said, "No."

1:06:49
And so, he had
a smaller portion,

1:06:51
and that's why we might not
have enough.

1:06:53
So, I'll just go check on, uh,
what the Lord would say.

1:06:56
Just one second.
1:06:58
SARAH: Come here, William.
1:06:59
Hey, come here.
Are you hungry?

1:07:04
Charlene...
1:07:05
If there was ever a time
I needed a favor, it's now.

1:07:08
You got it, baby.
Anything.

1:07:09
Oh, thank you!
1:07:11
[ Grunts ]
1:07:13
[ Paper rustling ]
1:07:21
Oh. Mrs. Arness?
1:07:22
Yes? Oh, yes.
1:07:24
[ Sighs ]
1:07:25
My family and I are pleased
to invite you for dinner.

1:07:28
Yeah, oh.
1:07:29
Well, very well.
I wasn't expecting this.

1:07:31
Uh, but if you insist.
1:07:32
And then afterwards,
we can sign the contracts.

1:07:35
Of course.
1:07:36
Dinner is served.
1:07:39
I was raised
in the South, you know.

1:07:42
That smells just like
our lvy's jambalaya.

1:07:45
She was so wonderful.
1:07:48
We paid her nothing,
of course, you know.

1:07:51
But, then, people had standards
of service in those days.

1:07:54
And, of course, lvy did know
1:07:57
that you serve from the left
and collect from the right.
